Analogue Addressable

The MINERVA®
MX T2000 is supplied with 2 loops and is expandable to eight loops using
additional loop expansion cards. The panel will support up to 1000 addressable
devices. It has been approved by all the major marine authorities and its
advanced proven microprocessor based system provides conventional as well as
addressable detection at the price of today's conventional systems.

Modular in
design, the MINERVA® MX T2000 provides economical fire detection for small
vessels but is also flexible enough to implement the complex event procedures
required in larger ones.

Detectors
are controlled in groups of up to 240 zones all software configurable, so
avoiding the expensive need to hardwire each zone back to the control panel.
Further savings are made possible by harnessing the power of the latest micro
processing technology to enable a single loop of two-core cabling to carry both
detection and command signals. Backwards compatibility is also achieved by using
an ancillary module that allows existing fire systems to be updated and
extended cost effectively, utilizing existing wiring where possible and with
minimal disruption.

Other
ancillary modules offer even greater system flexibility: short circuit sensing
isolation ensures the T2000 continues in operation, even if a wiring fault
occurs. Local sounder activation further reduces wiring costs and switch
monitoring allows easy interface to a vessels machinery control system. Further
flexibility and installation savings can be made using the loop power T2000
options. Loop powered T2000 panels allow
sounders to be powered from the same loop wires that carry communications and
power to the detectors and other ancillaries.
